Oh my goodness... The "post pin fight" picture is the BEST!!! You sure captured the essence of that moment, didn't you?!

 

[ReggieB]

You are truly the queen of trip reports, this is great! Can't wait for the next installment.

I didn't even realize they were planning to take the Epcot wand down...I think I like it better with it.

Hey Michelle! Sorry about the Dentist! On Tuesday I got 3 wisdom teeth pulled. Not sure what I thought I was doing! I better be healed for the trip!!! Do you have to be under a certain age to trade pins with the CM's? I had not heard they were taking down the wand either. Wonder how long that took! Can't wait to hear about eatting around the world. We may have to try it (if someone gives some good reviews ). I am going to PM you. jen

Thanks for the update Michelle - glad to hear you are feeling better.

Loved the F&W pictures; they're making me hungry for tomorrow!!! Did I miss it or did you not try the chocolate truffles at the champagne booth? You know me ... always have to ask about the chocolate.

See ya in couple of weeks my friend!

I had the Moet & Chandon Nectar Imperial Rose. YUMMY!

I'm not a big champagne (or wine) drinker but that does look so good! I think I'll have to try that one!




I've also got to tell you I've been trying to resisting the temtation to purchase Mickey crocs since they first came out. I didn't even get any when I got them for my 3 kids. They are SO much easier in the airport than sneakers and just so much fun. I finally gave in and ordered myself some black ones last week with a 20% off coupon from shoebuy.com. I wasn't real happy with the straps-I do have regular cayman crocs and that strap is more comfortable for some reason. Maybe the Mickey crocs just need to be broken in a bit but I wasn't going to riske that. I was going to order the turbo strap from the croc website but they were out of stock. I did find them on shoemall.com and they had free shipping. I went all out and ordered lime green turbo straps instead of keeping with the black/red theme of the Mickey crocs. [I suppose if I was really going all out I would have ordered both red and lime green but I didn't do that. ]


Thanks again for sharing your trip with us. LOVE all your photos. Love the photo of the new Innoventions sign! I didn't notice that in August. Cannot wait to see more!

 

[Sooze]

I think I like that new Innoventions sign. That must be pretty new, because we didn't see that in September... hmmmmm

You all look so happy! I'm glad you got to slip in this trip to hold you over until next December!

Ready for more...

Michelle what great photos, I'd sent the girls to bed but called them down and they were so excited to see Brenna, Ellie started singing she's got the whole world in her hands

Looks like you've made a great start eating yourselves around the world

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Glad you are feeling better and have caught up on some sleep...I imagine it was much needed!

Love the photos. The Contemporary just made it to my wish list...someday, I suppose. I've always loved that resort.

And you are looking like one mighty happy lady with that drink in your hand! Cheers.

I had the Moet & Chandon Nectar Imperial Rose. YUMMY!

That looks yummy!

Love your Tink shirt!

 

[KatGarcia]

I'm so hyped about F&W I can't wait to see your pics!!!! I can't wat even more to eat all that yummy food!

 

[*MickeyFan*]

Can't wait to hear more about eatting around the world!! Love the pictures! Glad to hear your planning your next trip!! I am already working on DH. It's hard when DS isn't into it yet. Hoping he comes around soon!!

Hi Michelle,
Great trippie! I had a blast meeting you all at the HM for the DIS princess meet on the 5th. It was so sweet of Bre to make the little DIS treasures. I am going to put mine in my scrapbook.
We also spent a lot of time at the F&WF. But I didn't take any great pictures like you did. Yummy! I wish I was there for longer since I could only eat so much before being full. I wanted to get to Ireland and Canada. Oh, well, maybe next year.

Mmmm all that food looks so good! I loved walking though and smelling all the wonderful creations the chef's were making! Can't wait to read more.

 

[cmp1111]

Ooh, that looks yummy! Thanks for all the great pictures!

 

[jakenjess]

I'm loving those food pictures, Michelle!! I'm living vicariously through your report, as we didn't get to experience nearly enough F&WF on our trip. It just wasn't my parents' thing, so we've decided another Oct. trip is definitely in order someday so we can do it up right.

Glad you're all feeling better!

 

[PrincessV]

Ugh. Sorry about the dreaded Disney Virus Michelle. I'm right there with you!

Here are a couple of pics of the room.

Ooooo, I just looove the renovated CR rooms! I need to visit them again

Speaking of mascots - I asked at the front desk if I had a package waiting for me - my Croc was no where to be found!!!

And another one bites the dust.

Can you tell from the picture who won the argument?

YES!

Oh well, I can be patient. It'll give us more time to save money to buy points when it is announced!

WOO HOO!!

I'm soooo glad they are using Ratatouille characters in the signage! I love Remy!

I'll provide more detail elsewhere, but have to say - I saw NONE of this! I've just got to go back for another day before the Fest is over and catch the Future World displays.

Ironically enough, they put my Champagne booth right at the front this year!

Ummm... do you maybe mean MY Champagne booth???

We also had the Grilled Beef Sirloin with Chimichurri Sauce. It was a winner! We all liked it. The beef was very good, and the sauce went very well with it.

This was one of my favorites last year, but I think I got a bad plate this time. NOT good.

I've got 14 months to plan our next Christmas trip!

Subtracting weekends and holidays, I'm guessing you have more like 10 months, which is less than a year!

Argentina has Steve's Spicy Beef Empanadas! They are his favorite! Steve tried the Bodega Norton Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon and liked it.

We also had the Grilled Beef Sirloin with Chimichurri Sauce. It was a winner! We all liked it. The beef was very good, and the sauce went very well with it.

Here is the Dulce de Leche...

The beef empanadas were one of our favorites too and the potatoes served with the the grilled sirloin were tasty as well. Somehow we missed the Dulce de Leche but I'm not sure if we need to try it or not. My family was making fun of me for taking pictures of the food so I just sent them your photos to show I'm not the only one. Thank you!

 

[DancinDaisyDuck]

Whew! I'm all caught up on your TR! I got back late last night and am also I think there was something going around Animal Kingdom yesterday and I definately caught it.

Your F&WF pics are great! I only wish I had time to stop and taste when I was there on Saturday, it was CROW-DED!

Looking forward to reading more, and glad you are feeling better!
